So, I was recomitting last week, if you remember.
Well, it was a little difficult. Lunch on Friday at Chuy’s put a big dent in the whole recommiting thing, especially because I can’t – no matter how hard I try – stop eating those stupid chips. There may or may not have been tres leches involved as well. I can’t really remember.
Saturday I slept in (I don’t know what my deal is on the weekends these past two weeks – I haven’t been up before 8 which is really out of character for me) and that’s when I tackled my dresser and got rid of half my clothes. The drawers are pretty empty now, which makes me breathe a little easier.
And this is only the beginning of all the clothes I’ve gotten rid of. Cleaning out is AWESOME.
We went over to Sean’s parents house to watch the Texans/Saints game. I took zero pictures because I suck. Suffice it to say – I ate the entire time we were there. So I re-started over yesterday 
(nevermind that I didn’t work out yesterday - I did eat pretty well all day).
Who watches True Blood? Am I alone, or is Eric super annoying now that he’s “nice”? Not a fan. I’m ready for Boardwalk Empire to start again.
Anyway, back to being back on track… I did hot Suntouch yoga this morning at some ungodly hour and it was AWESOME! I’ve decided that I’m going once a week (Mondays) to start off my week detoxing and starting “fresh”. Seriously amazing. Lovelovelove.
I also went to an hour long cycle/muscle blast class at the gym which I really wish I could always go to but don’t really see that being possible. I haven’t been to a cycling class in a while, so this class was perfect because it was 30 minutes of spin and then 30 minutes of weights. Which means I have already knocked out one of two strength sessions this week and it’s only Monday. Which also means this week has started off the right way
Oh and in case you randomly feel like doing an “easier” hills workout – this is a good one.
5 mile hill workout
1 mile: jog at an easier pace, incline 1%
3/4 mile: jog at an easier pace, incline 2%
1/2 mile: jog at an easier pace, incline 3%
1/2 mile: jog at an easier pace, incline 4%
1/2 mile: jog at an easier pace, incline 3%
3/4 mile: jog at an easier pace, incline 2%
1 mile: jog at an easier pace, incline 1%
I made it 6 miles by keeping it at 1% the last mile and upping the pace 1% every minute. It was a good 6 miles. And I don’t remember where I got that hill work from, but I will link to it when I find it.
Hills – love ‘em or hate ‘em? I actually don’t mind them. They’re hard for sure, but I am always really satisfied when they’re over. Same thing with sprints.
I ate so much crap this weekend, but it was so amazingly delicious that it was worth it!
Hills. Hate ‘em on the treadmill, but I love to get a good hill or 3 when I’m running outside. Sprints, on the other hand, I always do on the treadmill. Outside? Not that much. I’m so weird.
I always do my sprints on the treadmill. I don’t even know why that is, I just have this mental thing where I believe sprints are better done on treadmills, lol. Hills I can do either way. And you’re not weird, you’re AWESOME!
You had me at Chuy’s, girl.
THAT PLACE IS SO TASTY. And yeah…I always got totally filled up on the chips.
Sigh.
sigh is right, i think you need to come back to houston… just sayin’
I am currently re-committing to hills myself (although where I live that’s not too difficult)! I don’t really mind them all that much; all things considered, speed work is a lot tougher for me. Personally, it’s the downhills that annoy me more than the uphills, because of all the pounding on my legs.
downhill annoys me more too!!
oh I HATE hills. I think they are a personal attack on me each and every time I encounter them. I wish I could change my mentality…maybe someday.
I haven’t watched True Blood in a while because I don’t have HBO, but I have to say that part of the reason I liked Eric so much (other than looks, of course) was the whole mean thing. haha!
